EUR/USD Price Analysis: A test of 2021 low not ruled out

EUR/USD comes under pressure and falters above 1.1600.
A deeper move to the YTD low at 1.1524 is not discarded.

EUR/USD remains on the defensive and returns to the sub-1.1600 area on Tuesday.

EUR/USD’s earlier bullish attempt ran out of steam just past 1.1600 the figure and forced the pair to refocus on the downside and on another potential visit to the 2021 low at 1.1524 (October 12) at the same time.

In the meantime, the near-term outlook for EUR/USD is seen on the negative side below the key 200-day SMA, today at 1.1898.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

Gold moves closer to $5,150 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold climbs back above $5,100 during the Asian session on Wednesday, moving away from an over one-week low, touched the previous day. Sustained safe-haven flow, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, acts as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI later today.
